The ups and downs of life in the Siheyuan

Zheng Xia looked at her two children who were staring at her eagerly. She felt sorry for the children and was grateful to Old Songtou.

She vaguely knew that Lao Songtou was well-paid and liked her two children very much. The two children also liked to play with him.

Today, Uncle Song must have secretly told Erxiao that there would be delicious food in the evening. Erxiao then secretly told grandma and ran over.

Erxiao is usually sensible. Except for Uncle Song, they will not go to other people's houses for dinner.

Looking at Uncle Song's expression again, he sighed, "Okay, thank you Grandpa Song."

"Thank you, Grandpa Song." Xiao Wu said hello again obediently.

"We have already thanked you," Xiaoru muttered.

Erxiao started eating again. Zheng Xia sat next to Li Yuan. Li Yuan got up and helped pour hot water.

"Thank you too, Xiao Li."

"It's okay. I often look for Uncle Song to be a big boss. He is the only one, and he can't spend all his money on such a high salary. If I don't help him, who will help him?"

Hearing Li Yuan's words, Uncle Song let out a "呲", and then slowly drank while looking at Er Xiaoxiao with a smile.

Zheng Xia heard Li Yuan's words and hit him, "Uncle Song is in trouble when he meets you three."

"He is a disaster, Xiao Wu and Xiao Ru are a blessing," Lao Songtou once said.

Half an hour later, the concierge left Old Man Song and Li Yuan behind.

He drank the last half of the bottle of wine, and sent his uncle to force Zheng Xia to take away the rest of the soup.

"Xiao Li, I'll take a nap for a while," Lao Songtou said vaguely as Li Yuan helped him to the bed and covered him with a quilt.

Li Yuan went out and locked the door from the inside. Returning to the concierge, he put several wooden stools together and fit them together so that he could lie down on them.

In the middle of the night, he was awakened by Lao Songtou's constant turning and muttering on the bed. He stood up and walked over to take a look. He kicked the quilt to the ground and muttered one sentence repeatedly at the end.

Li Yuan was also curious. Old Song Tou was making a bit of a fuss today.

Out of curiosity, he tried to answer.

"Song Revolution, what do you want to say?"

"Brothers, I will take you home, go home...".

Somehow, Li Yuan couldn't hold back his tears and kept falling.

Scenes of scenes kept appearing in my mind.

"Millet" digs coal alone on the coal pile;

"Long Wenwen"'s voice is like a soul calling, "Let's go, I'll take you home!";

"Chen Yannian" was covered in wounds and walked to the execution ground with shackles on his hands and feet. The awakened man turned around and smiled.

After covering Lao Songtou with the quilt, Li Yuan stood in front of the window, looking at the stars in the sky, unable to hold back his tears.

He couldn't help but shout in his mind, "Long live the People's Republic of China! Long live the Chinese people! Long live the Communist Party of China!".

The next day, Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes, and Old Songtou had already gotten up, wrapped in a cotton-padded jacket, and sitting by the stove.

The light from the stove illuminated his face, and you could see that his eyes were unfocused.

Li Yuan turned over and sat up, waking up Lao Songtou.

"Thanks!"

"I'm seeing you outside!" Li Yuan responded with a smile.

Old Songtou smiled and said, "I haven't slept like this for a long time."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "I'll eat shredded chicken noodles in the morning. You have some flour?"

"Yes, it's in the cabinet."

Li Yuan "took out" a large piece of chicken breast wrapped in white paper from his pocket.

"Hey! You still have some stock"

"Hey, this is the last bit of stock, and you've eaten it all."

Old Songtou bared his teeth in a smile and did not answer.

The following days were unremarkable. Li Yuan worked at two o'clock and one line at a time, and felt that his life was very fulfilling every day.

This week, he didn't go to the flea market.

I found a pile of hardwood in the warehouse, mostly red sandalwood and a small part of huanghuali. It only cost 5 cents in total. This shows that many people don't like to see mahogany now.

Every night, Li Yuan would take out a piece of wood, cut it into the size he wanted, and continue to practice various carvings to make sure he was proficient.

He didn't care about what he was carving specifically, because he found that although he quickly mastered the basic carving skills, the things he carved were really not very good.

So he could only comfort himself by not caring.

He knew that this was due to his lack of aesthetic accomplishment. The system gave him sculpting skills, but it did not come with aesthetic accomplishment.

He was not in a hurry, and continued to practice carving every day, hoping that the system would not be able to tolerate his "finished product" and throw him a new skill book.

Unfortunately, it backfired. It's been a week, it's been a week, and the system has been ignoring him.

Bored, he rearranged the Nine Palace Grid again, the details are as follows:

The first grid: 730 yuan of soft girl coins, 2 pounds of food stamps, household registration book and food book;

The second grid: 100 jins of white flour and 20 jins of rice;

The third grid: two and a half roasted chickens, 20 eggs, and 3 pounds of pork belly;

The fourth grid: 5 pounds of vegetables, 8 pounds of tomatoes, 8 apples, and 10 persimmons;

The fifth grid: 2 huanghuali armchairs, a matching coffee table, and a pile of wood;

The sixth grid: 8 bottles of chrysanthemum white, 2 bottles of Fenjiu;

The seventh grid: "Small fan", engraving tool kit;

Box : Commonly worn clothes;

Ninth box: empty.

He exchanged almost all the food stamps for grain. There were already more than 30 kilograms of cornmeal. In order to prevent rats from chewing, he put the seasonings and some flour and rice into an empty water tank, covered it with a wooden board, and weighed it down with a big stone. .

The huanghuali armchair will be taken out after the house is renovated, but it is a bit awkward to put it here now.

Li Yuan now has no worries about food and clothing. At noon, he bought some pairs of socks, coats and trousers while taking advantage of the free sale of ready-made clothes, and put them in the Jiugong grid.

Thanks to his daily practice, although his nutritional intake is sufficient, his figure is slightly slim.

Regardless of skin color, Li Yuan looks completely malnourished.

But once his clothes are taken off, his body lines are well-proportioned, and there is not a trace of fat on his body. Once he exerts force, his muscles will become tangled, and he will explode with amazing strength.

And now that he has completed the practice, he has summarized the movements and luck methods inside and created a set of footwork. With the help of external objects, he can move around in a small range and jump 3 meters with force.

Especially in the air, he can slightly use the airflow to make small movements of his body in the air.

Sometimes he is speechless. He has not made any big breakthroughs at work, but he has made considerable progress in his skills.

Even if it is carving, if you don’t look at the shape but only the carving, some people will be amazed: the basic skills are solid.

Hey, I feel a bit unprofessional.

On the weekend, Wang Shengli found Li Yuan in high spirits and even took the initiative to pour tea for Li Yuan.

"Xiao Li, I have good news for you. I may be promoted to a department-level cadre."

"Congratulations," Li Yuan felt a little uneasy.

"You don't have to worry. I heard that the higher ups will send a young and powerful person to lead you. I'm telling you this today just to make you mentally prepared."

"Hey, to tell you the truth, I took advantage of you this time..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Yuan quickly interrupted, "I don't dare take it seriously. Without your hard work over the years, the acquisition station would not be what it is now."

"Okay, stop being modest. I wanted to take care of you more in the future, but it seems there is no chance." Li Yuan knew that this meant that he wanted to train him.

"If you can't get along in the future, go find the old leader." Li Yuan followed the stick to kill the snake.

"No problem, just say something when the time comes and I will help you find a relationship."

"Thank you, leader."
